With over twenty years experience working in the British guntrade we are able to carry out a wide range of work and alterations to the highest standards.
Whilst most of our repairs are carried out on the premises, we also employ the services and extensive knowledge of some of the best trained London craftsmen.
Thus we are able to offer work to the same standard as many of the best London gunmakers.
We are capable of carrying out service, repair and restoration to guns of any age; though our specialist fields of knowledge cover the more modern style of guns; i.e. hammer and hammerless guns from the last half of the 19th century to date.
Whilst we are happy to give valuations after examining a particular gun, we regret we cannot give valuations online.
We carry out a full range of stock alterations and fitting work to guns across the shotgun spectrum, be it the oldest hammer gun to the latest Beretta or Browning OU.
We can work to measurements supplied by a shooting school, or we are happy to advise on gunfitting and alter the gun accordingly.
We are able to give an estimate, on request, for any work, but only on sight of the gun.
